Distraction burglaries usually target the vulnerable and the list was compiled by the Operation Liberal specialist police unit. It follows other successful publicity drives targeting suspects thought to have fled to Spain and missing paedophiles. Dave Cording, of Crimestoppers, said: “These individuals prey on older people who may be at risk and need to be brought to justice.

“If you have any information on any of the people here, please fill in a form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org. No one will know your identity.”
